so called paradise

Music by Sigrey

Lyrics by Lloyd Antonio Garrett

 

Let me take you by the hand and lead you

through the streets where there is no right or wrong

a place where I am from

Looking at the people passing you by

where rich and poor have a clear devided life

gotta be spiritually stronger

 

When politicians dine

our children loos their sight

another day in this So Called Paradise

so hard to live right

in this old age of time

I'll hold on for just a little while longer

 

Mother holds baby in her cradled arms

for 14 years her ambitions to pretect her from harm

where did it all go wrong

Live by the sword and die by the gun

32 old mother said the only thing she felt was numb

her baby is no longer

 

I love you was her cry

as she passed through this life

society is spinning out of controll

Where the result of crime

leads to a shooting in a drive by

how I pray God keeps me for another day´

 

I'll hold on for just a little while longer
